I took this picture in the Volksgarten in Vienna yesterday. It's a by-product of my participation in the all-day demonstration against the turquoise-blue government coalition near the Chancellery. The Ballhausplatz in front of it was much too small for some 10,000 demonstrators, so lots of them populated part of the nearby Volksgarten.
A fine specimin of a Saint Bernard, a breed of very large working dog from the Western Alps in Italy and Switzerland. They were originally bred for rescue work by the hospice of the Great St Bernard Pass on the Italian-Swiss border.
The breed has become famous through tales of Alpine rescues, as well as for its large size, and gentle temperament.
This one was as placid as dogs get!
The Highland is a Scottish breed of rustic cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, bred to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region.
Highland cattle descend from the Hamitic Longhorn, which were brought to Britain by Neolithic farmers in the second millennium BC, as the cattle migrated northwards through Africa and Europe. Highland cattle were historically of great importance to the economy, with the cattle being raised for meat primarily and sold in England.
The 1885 herd book describes two distinct types of Highland cattle. One was the West Highland, or Kyloe, originating and living mostly in the Outer Hebrides, which had harsher conditions. These cattle tended to be smaller, to have black coats and, due to their more rugged environment, to have long hair. These cattle were named due to the practice of relocating them. The kyles are narrow straits of water, and the cattle were driven across them to get to market.
The other type was the mainland; these tended to be larger because their pastures provided richer nutrients. They came in a range of colours, most frequently dun or red. These types have now been crossbred so that there is no distinct difference.
Since the early 20th century, breeding stock has been exported to many parts of the world, especially Australia and North America.
It is estimated that there are now around 15,000 Highland cattle in the United Kingdom.

Thanks to WR for the play-by-play while I was at work. Managed to get in position just before a tidal wave of foamy activists arrived on scene.
I stood in front of a bakery on a cold January morning and was fascinated by the play of colors caused by the fogged windows. As the boy was about to leave the store, I pressed the shutter button.
American Bulldogs are a well-balanced athletic dog that demonstrate great strength, endurance, agility, and a friendly attitude. Historically, they were bred to be a utility dog used for working the farm. The American Bulldog is a descendant of the English Bulldog. It is believed that the bulldog was in America as early as the 17th century.
3 Thoroughbreds walk across a paddock of rich Kentucky Bluegrass in the early dawn light at a thoroughbred farm near Lexington. Shot facing away from the sun so the horizon was still dark while the hillside was getting the early sunlight. I spent a lot of time driving around trying to find just the right farm at sunrise. Just before the sun came up there was some mist in the lower lying areas which makes for a great photo. Unfortunately I just couldn't get the right combo of mist and scene, and a lot of the farm fences basically butt right up against the road, making it pretty dangerous to try to pull over and shoot on the narrow side roads while the traffic whips by. Then I came upon this beautiful farm and the horses at first were sort of randomly walking and munching and then the leader decided to relocate and they fall in to line following across the hill. The symmetry of the three combined with the lines across the fresh-mown grass looked interesting to me. No mist or dramatic sunrise colors though :-(. I chose symmetry and horses over color for this one.
